I'm trying to create full backups for a directory every day of the week. I followed the example in the help file. The problem is that it deletes the directory every previous day. So I end up with 1 directory and not 7 directory's with full backups. for example today is tuesday (day 2) it backups to directory 2 on my NAS but deletes directory 1.
This is what I did as described in the help file:
To keep 7 days worth of backups and have full-backups for each day:
·Create a backup profile and configure your source as appropriate
·Set the Destination to something (the %DAYOFWEEK% is required) in my case on the NAS: \\SYNOLOGY207PLUS\HD1 Backup\E\backup\winamp\%DAYOFWEEK%\
·Go to the Fast Backup tab and enable the options: Perform a fast backup and Keep fast backup data based on the actual destination directory
·Go to the Decisions - Files page and configure the profile to delete files from the destination that do not exist on the source. This ensures that your backups don't get cluttered with redundant files.
·You should schedule the profile to run just once every day
